Howdy Folks,
We found fish this week from Pelican Pt down to Wildcat Pt on the west side of the lake. The weather changed to a more summer-like pattern and the bite changed along with it. This means very early morning offers the best bite of the day. After this period, the lake can become flat, calm with with little or no chop on the water and bright sunlight. These conditions slow the bite. Current surface temperature is 59F and rising a bit daily.

Trolling:
Most days we had 6-10 hookups before putting an average fish in the box of around 2.5
lbs. We are trolling Sep's Watermelon Grubs 5ft deep on the downriggers in water 6-10 feet deep very early. As the sun moves higher in the sky we are moving to deeper water, trolling the same baits at 8-15 feet in water 10-20 ft deep.

Anglers launching from the southern section of the lake have been successful trolling at Wildcat Pt. They are trolling shallow early and moving to deeper water and dropping their baits deeper as the morning wears on. Green trolling flies and watermelon grubs have been effective in this area.

Bobber Fishing:
Bobber fishing is very slow as of this date.

Launching:
Launching is no problem at the Spalding Launch facility.
